About Scarecrow Drone de Proteção de Cultivos

Scarecrow é um drone de proteção de cultivos concebido para uso em terras agrícolas. O drone realiza operações de pulverização e regressa à sua base através de controlo programado. Um design redundante de oito eixos e um algoritmo adaptativo de proteção de potência permitem um voo seguro mesmo em caso de falha de um dos eixos. Um sistema sonoro reproduz cantos de aves para afastar os pássaros dos campos sem lhes causar dano. A estrutura principal é fabricada em fibra de carbono, as peças de ligação são em liga de titânio impressa em 3D e os rotores são moldados por injeção. Os rotores também captam energia eólica para autocarregamento enquanto o drone permanece em espera.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties
The product completes plant protection operations and homing through program control, and collects wind energy through its own rotor to complete self charging. 8 axis redundant design with adaptive power protection algorithm. The main body of the scarecrow is equipped with a sound system to disperse the birds around the farmland by playing the screams of birds, so as to protect the farmland while not harming the birds.
Dimensions & Packaging
Length 1200 mm, width 400 mm, the diameter of each shaft is 343 mm.
Tags
Plant protection, pesticide spraying, drones, automation, hunger reduction.
Production Technology
8 axis redundant design, adaptive power protection algorithm, pesticide spraying control technology, the main frame uses carbon fiber high temperature molding process, the link part uses 3 D printing titanium alloy, and the rotor and other parts use injection molding process.
Design Challenge
Our challenge is to integrate form and function, taking into account the aesthetics of form and functionality.
Research
Scarecrow has an 8 axis redundant design, combined with an adaptive power protection algorithm, even if one axis fails during flight, it can maintain safe flight. The product comes with audio module, charging module and camera module. When the drone battery is full, the excess battery will be transferred to the docking pole.
Inspiration
So far, the food famine caused by the locust plague has been a problem that people all over the world are suffering. The source of the overall design of the Scarecrow is the abstract simplification of the organic form of the branches, and the fuselage and bracket adopt an integrated streamline form.
Project Duration
The project started in Shenyang, Liaoning Province in September 2020 and ended in Shenyang, Liaoning Province in December 2020.
Operation Flow
Use the set program to automatically complete the plant protection operation. After completion, it will use its own data cloud and GPS to accurately locate the location and stand by. During the waiting process, the charging module is connected to the docking column, the self charging is completed by collecting wind energy from its own rotor.
